How about training your horse, taking part in tournaments, breeding with your horse, brushing and feeding it, just to name a few?
But then again, I also like the dolphins a lot.
It's okay if you don't like the feature, but if so that doesn't make it a small feature. Dolphins are a small feature - horses could fill a whole Gameplay Pack, esp. if children and toddlers are allowed to do some riding as well.

I am fine with horses as long as they don't roam the neighbourhood like in TS3. They should be strictly on a farm, in a paddock somewhere, not roaming free on the street in the middle of the city. If they do breeding, maybe they will also add those miniature ponies, or at least some donkeys.

^THIS. I've been watching Alchestbreach's playthrough of the Sims 3 and I cringe everytime I see these wild horses gallavanting about the neighborhood and loitering in front of homes.
Perhaps we can have horses only in places with a designated lot trait. I don't remember wild horses wandering the urban areas in Sims 3 but maybe my memory is faulty..

Someone once posted a thread here with a part of the code here where horses were mentioned, which means they might have considered including them at some point.
Bikes were executed really badly but there are already bits in the code to determine wether a cat or dog will stay outside or go inside - that could be reused for horses.
There's no need to compare horses to bikes, even though I really hope that the issues with riding bikes will be adressed at some point.

That will definately not be a problem in TS4. Animals are permitted from showing up by most filters, they have to be exclusively programmed to show up at all.
I'd say they will be restricted in the same way as cats and dogs are - they'll only show up
- as strays in maybe one of the neighbourhoods that will come with the Pack (which will probably not even have a city area (but even if that's the case, horses could be easily programmed to not show up in certain neighbourhoods)
- on lots with special horse friendly traits.

They would roam in Appaloosa Plains. Sometimes my sims would even see a unicorn in their street, it was kinda odd.
I remember seeing unicorns occasionally. So it was only Appaloosa Plains where the horses ran wild? I definitely don't remember seeing them in the other towns unless they belonged to play households.
The game generates 4 random horses to run wild together when you start a new neighbourhood. In Appaloosa, they are premades, that's the only difference.
Horses are as good as what you can do with them. In Ts3, I rode to work on the last model of 'Unicorn-Benz', then rode back home, because... you know... open hoods!
I love horses, I really do, but they'd be crippled by the lack of space to run wild and do their thing. Roaming on a 'block', no thanks for them.

They appear in almost all worlds. You can turn off seeing horses in the game by going into the options panel. I turned off warewolves and fairies.

I remember the tick boxes but I had forgotten that there was one for horses. I haven't played Sims 3 in years.
If they can genuinely deliver a well made Equestrian pack, Im all for it. I know people always want everything in one pack, but I feel like the farming experience or the horse-experience will lack if put together in one pack. So yes, give us separate, but please execute it well.
The Sims 4: Ranch Living. An entire world of Western-themes with a ranch. Plant crops (like corn, wheat, etc...), raise and tend to horses and other ranch animals, level up in horseback riding, and things of this nature. I love the idea of horses in TS4, but let's do a whole pack around it. And give it more depth than normal in TS4. Laterally there's a lot to do in TS4, but the depth is sorely lacking in many areas.
I know it may sound silly to some, but you could maybe even have several skills from that one pack:
Horseback riding, farming, cattle rustling, leather crafting, bull riding... and anything else connected to the motif.
Imagine making a new sim, putting them in charge of a ranch and turning it into a major agri-business venture!

Next expansion will revolve around travelling and it will feature horses. Now that could be a vacation expansion or a time travelling one...personally i prefer the latter. I think the game pack will revolve around self sufficient residential lots..I mean its the next logical step. They made an off the grid lot trait and tiny living residential so they are working on the code to create other types pf residential lots..why not benefit from that and give us a self sufficient type of residential which means that we have to produce our iwn energy and food..I know they wont depict cow slaughtering but they could make it so that if you have cattle on your lot you automatically have food on your refrigerator or something along those lines.
I think if they did this it would be a combination of a world designed with more horse trails etc (like walking your dog) but maybe also a lot trait to have a small stable or something it stays in. Not sure--but it'd be cool to have my own fenced area to have the horse on my lot.

The next expansion is something that will surprise us. Therefore it will be something we didn't ask for and didn't want
(or alternatively the Devs are hyping us as usual)
I'm going to be so dissappointed if the next pack is not farming, and after their announcement I don't think it will be. I want horses in the game sooo badly. I'm assuming they would be introduced in a farming pack. Then again I could always see them also adding a "horses" game pack, for some extra $, which I really hope doesn't happen unless its done really well.

If they wanted to include all of the things horses could do they could make an Equestrian gamepack.

I would like that considering we would get a lot more w horses and those who do not want them don't need to have them. Like I said, if it's done very well, and not just throw together, then I'd be more than okay with that!

EAxis could have done a lot more with the dolphins!
They could make a career of dolphin training to do tricks and put on dolphin shows. Dolphins could also have been taught to hunt for treasure in the sea and bring back shells, gems, the Mariner Gnome, sea life, etc. They could have also helped the lifeguard and have a dolphin bring drowning sims to safety, as well as protect scuba divers from predator sharks. They could also have made it that dolphins could pull sims along as they surf for fun, etc.
But all that would require too much effort - meaning having to pay animators for the animations, pay devs for the gameplay functions, pay artists to design gameplay objects for it, etc. But as you know, EA doesn't seem to want to do that.
Anyway, all water under the bridge. I would really love it too if they made a GP all about horses!

I disagree with this.I think it was fun to see them roaming around.Instead they should be in specific public areas .

A lot of work for a small feature.
